Last update: 12 hours agoDiplomatic Push in Russia: A Polisario Front representative used a Third International Anti-Fascist Forum in Russia to renew calls to end Morocco’s occupation and let Sahrawis exercise self-determination, warning of repression, arbitrary arrests, and restrictions on activists and journalists, while pointing to the “Wall of Shame” as a symbol of suffering. Human Rights Spotlight: The week also kept pressure on the record: UN experts accused Morocco of systemic abuse of Sahrawi detainees tied to the 2010 Gdeim Izik protest, citing torture, coerced confessions, and failures to investigate. European Outreach: Sahrawi human rights defender Aminatou Haidar continued meetings across Europe, including Sweden and Slovenia, briefing lawmakers and rights groups on prisoners, intimidation, and the obstacles to decolonization. France’s Position: France reiterated that the future of Western Sahara should be handled within “Moroccan sovereignty,” while citing UN Security Council Resolution 2797 and backing Morocco’s autonomy plan. Regional Context: Morocco’s Laayoune health reform and broader Franco-Moroccan cooperation on peacekeeping added a governance-and-security backdrop to the dispute.
